Best idea is to elongate to the desired amount then weld a washer in at that part of the elongation. You can then undo the tack and change at any time.
 
The Pearl uses only elongation to get its camber. 0-4 degrees if you want :)

I ended up taking only one more attempt to get it right this morning, now it's exactly -1.5 degrees on both sides. I didn't end up taking any of the above measures, but if the same thing happens again I'll do that next time. I tightened the bolts as tight as I possibly could by hand with a fairly long bar, so it should be OK hopefully.
 

 
I finally took some more photos of my car, I'll upload them all shortly.

Here we go, it's amazing what you can do with a phone camera these days (HTC One in this case):

Finally I've booked-in my car to have all the remaining engine work done at MRC! I'll drop the car off next Saturday.

Mark at MRC was showing me the new setup on your engine today. Congrats man, it looks nothing short of awesome! The crank trigger is one serious bit of kit. 
 
What gains are you expecting to see from the new ignition?

I must have arrived at MRC just after you left today!
 
Changing ignition systems doesn't magically increase power, but once you reach a certain power level (not far above where I'm at now) the stock ignition system won't hold up. The 1ZZ coils have been used on 3SGTEs with something like 700hp at 30psi of boost, so they are very capable coils! They have built-in igniters too. I'm also happy to have hall-effect sensors instead of the annoying reluctor sensors in the dizzy. Reluctor sensors are annoying because they produce a signal that varies with RPM, ie. the voltage amplitude increases as RPM increases, and you don't see a useful signal at all unless the RPM is close to cranking speed or higher. With hall effect sensors, the signal is simply 'high' or 'low' depending on whether there is a tooth in front of the sensor or not. For a stock ECU this doesn't matter and the reluctor sensors are totally fine, but for aftermarket ECUs it's nice to have hall-effect instead to make things simpler. My new trigger wheel on the crank has the added benefit of providing much more timing resolution compared to the stock trigger setup inside the dizzy.
 
Here are some photos that I took today:
 
1ZZ coil-on-plug conversion with adapter plate (part of RacerX kit):

 
RacerX fuel rail kit with ID 2000 injectors:

 
Other photos showing the RacerX plenum etc:

I went all-out last time too, but now it's just getting crazy lol.

Thanks man! I got a pleasant surprise when I saw it today, as I didn't expect MRC to make so much progress so fast.
 
I forgot to mention something else very significant...today I also ordered an OS Giken R2CD twin-plate clutch!

Tomorrow MRC will be ordering a Johnson CM90 water pump and a front-mount heat exchanger for the air-to-water intercooler system. They already moved the horns. While the front bumper is removed they will also update my A/C system which has never been converted from the old gas.
